Apperance
Atsuko has reddish-brown short hair which she usually wears down. Before succeding, her hair was quite long. However, since her succession, it's short. She has brown eyes. In her hair and eyes are heart-shaped shadows, like of all AKB0048 members.

Personality
Atsuko is usually a calm, caring girl who knows her goals. She often gets annoyed through things which are hidden from her, actually something to display that she is afraid of the truth. Atsuko also cares very much about her fans and is afraid of disappointing them in any wise. Esspacilly the Senbatsu Sousenkyo is something, she's very afraid of. Despite having names, she wants to succeed, she wants to succeed them on her own way and not just by copying them. As of her succession, she believes, she has done so.

Althrough she likes to perform and center performances, she dislikes the media pressure and talking when centering singles or having a front spot which she realized while Reality's promotion time. As well, she isn't a huge fan of competition. She prefers to support members instead.

History
Hoshina grew up on Akibastar, surrounded by AKB0048. Her mother was a huge fan of the group and as well a friend of a member. She always wanted to join, but never was accepted. Later on, also Hoshina learned about the wish of her mother. When the auditions for the 150th Generation opened, she auditioned - despite not beeing a WOTA until then, but wasn't accepted. Still wanting to join AKB0048, she became a staff member as part-time worker shortly after the 150th generation debuted. She auditioned in the next year too but wasn't accepted.

Amina's succession
Shortly after the succession concert of Sayaka, Hoshina meet the members of AKB0048 and with this, the ill Sayuri who soon was going to succed, something no one of them knew. She transported Sayuri to the dorms and helped her until Hikari was able to do so.

Succession fever

Beeing in her thoughts and listening to music on the school yard, she suddently met the happy Honoka who steam-rolled her - of course not wanting it though. She kept beeing unconsious, despite beeing awake for a moment after returning to the 0048-dorms.
